Disarmament agreements are treaties or pacts between countries aimed at reducing or eliminating specific types of weapons. These agreements can cover various categories, including nuclear weapons, chemical weapons, and conventional arms. The goal is to enhance global security and prevent conflicts by limiting the number of weapons that nations can possess or develop.
One well-known example is the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), which seeks to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and promote peaceful uses of nuclear energy. Disarmament agreements often involve verification measures to ensure compliance and build trust among nations, contributing to a more stable international environment.
